Jordan's progress
by Jahanshah Javid on Tue Jan 10, 2012 11:33 AM PSTThanks Hossein. I very much enjoyed the photos and your introduction to Jordan. Just happens that I'm reading Mark Twain's "The Innocents Abroad" and I'm at the part where he reaches the Holy Land. He's brutally honest in his descriptions of every country he has stepped foot on. Some 150 years or so after the book was published, seems like Jordan has made considerable progress. Still it's no Latin America where I'm right now (currently Buenos Aires). You MUST come visit :)
